ALIVENIQUE

Alivenique is the new conceptual brainchild of the musical and visual artist Ali Beletic. Self-described as a “meta-pop-art musical project”, it delves into herunique take on artistic vanguardism, hyper mixing a vast sonic and visual sensual assualt, digging into cinematic narratives alongside post-genre feminine meme-able moments, yet deeply underneath translating a pluralist sincerist invitation.

From the outset of her career as an artist and musician, Ali has rebelled against convention, juxtaposing editorial, personal narrative and vanguardism. She produces music, as well as sculpture, environmental works and paintings in conversation with both the music world and the art world as a representation for us to experience, dialogue and celebrate our shared, pluralist and global lineages of humanity. Utilizing the canvas and context of the music world to create an atmosphere and spirit where we can broadly dialogue between a more modern “self-aware” and informed version of ourselves, and a deeper more latent archaic sense of humanity that is intertwined with the natural world. She recalls, what Charles Olsen dubbed the “Archaic Post-Modern”. Naturally, this leads her to mixed use of materials, pitching primitive percussion against 808’s, self made tape loops against catchy melodic sensibilities, juxtaposing clays with spraypaints, soapstone and fire with brass, or building and lighting highly articulated post-Judd boxes, into the center of the desert as a rain catchment for a conversation with the broad scope of the natural world and then throwing a party around them with drummers hidden throughout the desert as a ceremonial party celebrating that very moment. In addition, her practice leaves nothing sacred to be unexplored and throws lineages of art and music and modern mash up in juxtaposition, reflecting her pluralist philosophy: ancient, pop, abstract expressionism, current cultural movements, and even throwing parties to be thrown in conversation with one another, just as vast and broad as we are today.

For her, Year of the Statement,is theblowing of the conch shell on her new pop-art project Alivenique, where she plays with a more sophisticated, developed self-aware artistry, laying the foundation for femininity going forward, telling a global story, and bringing punk into pop-art. Themes on the record include the female spirit traveling through time, the lexus and the olive tree, power, the new integration of the avant-garde with pop art, millennialism, primitivism, ceremony, champion, globalism, and love. However, she intends to define the space for extroverts and party-ers, working with dance beats, percussion collages, and her contribution to a new neon global sound.
